There is nothing wrong with a fasting person using cream or ointment for haemorrhoids

Question: 129935

Does using cream or ointment for haemorrhoids, whether inside or outside, in Ramadan break the fast and require the fast to be made up?.

Answer

Praise be to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon the Messenger of Allah and his family.

Using cream or ointment for haemorrhoids does not affect the fast.

And Allah is the source of strength. May Allah send blessings and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad and his family and Companions. End quote.
